Their story encompasses great wealth and unlimited power, palace coups and murders, as well as at least one heir allegedly killed by his own father.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe direct line then passes through the royal family who ruled Greece from 1863 and whose later members spent their lives in and out of exile. The first Greek monarch, Charles's great-grandfather, was assassinated. Charles's grandfather was tried by a kangaroo court and, members of his family believed, only saved from execution by the swift action of Britain's King George V.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a remarkable story of Royal intrigue, European scandal and international co-operation. By looking at the Romanov past of King Charles III, Coryne Hall offers a fascinating insight into the history of Britain's monarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCoryne Hall\u003c\/b\u003e is an historian, broadcaster and consultant specializing in the Romanovs and British and European royalty.
